Child rapist has appeal rejected

A CHILD rapist who committed foul sex attacks on two underage girls has had a challenge to his indefinite jail sentence rejected by top judges.

Raymond George Sussex, 52, of Hastings, raped a 12-year-old girl and also subjected her to a horrifying catalogue of other sex attacks.

Sussex also carried out perverted acts on another underage girl.

He pleaded guilty to offences in relation to that second victim, and was convicted by a jury of rape, indecent assault and indecency with a child in relation to the first victim in September 2009 at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

He was sentenced to imprisonment for public protection (IPP) - an indefinite jail term which is almost identical to a life sentence.

He was told he must serve a minimum of six-and-a-half years behind bars before he could even apply for parole.
